Product Details

Perfect for honing your skills, the Trend Sports® Xtender 36 Home Batting Cage lets you practice right in your own backyard! The frame's side supports are made of steel tubing to give the frame durability and maximum swinging area for the batter. The middle arch of the frame is made of flexible fiberglass rod that allows the cage to flex in the wind without bending or breaking.

Features

The six power stakes are staked into the ground to give maximum frame support

A rugged foam pad slides over each frame support to protect the frame from balls

Extra-strength catch net is made of ¾-in netting compared to 2-in netting used on other cages. This smaller netting provides twice as much strength in the same amount of space

Easy for my husband and I to put up in a few hours. My 6-year-old son loved using his Heater pitching machine w/ this cage. After only 3 days, one side of the cage fell down, and bent one of the poles. We tried to put back up, and then the stake broke. Wasn't even windy out when it fell down. Also, the netting ripped very easily. Very disappointed. We are trying to rig it back together somehow using store-bought pipes, and sew the holes in the net, but what a waste of money. While it was up, it looked great and did the job. But it's very fragile. I will contact the company, but don't have high hopes for the replacement parts I hope they send.

Caves in with the slightest wind or rain. Have had poles break and they want you to mail them back to them for repair. I am having to buy another cage and will end up eating this one. They also are defensive and rude when you try to call Trend Sports about the problem. My mistake but one I will not make again.

I got this on christmas and it didnt come with the two stakes to make it 36 ft. so we will be contacting them soon. i use it with the heater sinker. the sinker is good but has a topspin effect on the ball. but overall it is something to do an improves hitting once you get use to it. The setup took about 3 hours, but it could have taken maybe 1. just follow the directions. good luck!

Overall this is a good cage for your back yard. This cage is a good size. I have noticed shorter cages offered but I would not purchase one any shorter becaue the reaction time would have to be too quick for younger players. My sons are 5, 7 and 9. The cage takes 4 - 5 hours to setup and once up I will not move it! The cage seems very fragile and I wish the netting was a little thicker but so far it has held up nicely. I believe it it stronger than it looks.
